barox Kommunikation AG’s commitment to raising environmental standards has recently been rewarded, with their commitment to global standards of quality assurance, manufacturing and business being reinforced, by once again passing their ISO 14001, 27001 and 9001 compliance audits.
As part of their ISO 14001 environmental management system, barox consistently pursues the goal of systematically identifying and evaluating their own environmental impact and minimising it through reduction strategies.
In respect to barox Kommunikation’s commitment to green manufacturing and in accordance with ISO 14001, a recent audit reveals that the manufacturer has further reduced its CO₂ emissions within three key areas.
Firstly, to reduce the amount of plastic used in their packaging solutions, barox have made a gradual switch to the use of alternative materials. Optimising their packaging design and establishing specific third-party supplier requirements, barox Kommunikation has continuously reduced their amount of plastic content. Since 2019, barox have almost halved the amount of plastic used in their product packaging.
The second focus was to reduce CO₂ emissions within the total barox supply chain – with particular emphasis on transportation from our factories and subcontractors, to the manufacturer. In this respect, an ongoing strategy of switching from air to sea freight, is delivering a positive impact on CO₂ reductions.
Finally, employees are being educated on effective waste separation across all barox sites, with a steady improvement in the handling of recyclable materials. In a very simple but effective measure, reusable packaging received into the company is being re-employed in barox product deliveries to customers.
“A growing number of our customers are prioritising the integration of an environmental management system, which drives our pursuit of ISO 14001 certification,” says Rudolf Rohr, barox Co-founder & Managing Director. “Throughout this process, we discovered that adopting environmentally conscious practices not only fulfils regulatory expectations but also yields economic advantages. What initially seemed like challenges, actually presented opportunities for substantial enhancements. At barox, we recognise that environmental stewardship is integral to our corporate ethos and societal obligations. Strategically, investing in environmental sustainability proves to be a prudent and forward-thinking business strategy.
“The green-focused management ethos of barox in both product and process development is a target at all levels of the company – to further ecological and process-orientated improvements. We are determined not to rest on our success in this field and we’ll continue along this path with determination and foresight. Our processes have been put through their paces, and we’re proud to announce that we have once again successfully passed the ISO 14001, 27001 and 9001 certifications – we are delighted to be succeeding!”
